For the warm-up we learned about generalizations in a passage about deaf dog. Between the warm-up and activity one we talked about the books we read last night for 5 minuets, in our table groups. (In the five minuets I observed many people off task) After we talked about our books Mrs.Abrams asked us to tally up the number of books we have read so far and give her the number. You need a reading log to give her the number for proof.
